For decades, tourism has experienced continuous growth and extensive diversification to become one of the fastest-growing economic industries in the world. This is also an opportunity for Astra to build and develop.

🌟🌟🌟 Potential of tourism market nearly 9000 billion USD
Nowadays, the development of modern tourism is closely associated with modern technology. Everyone can approach and learn about many new destinations in a completely new form.
Some recent statistics show that the tourism market is increasingly being aware and becoming the leading spearhead of the world economy:
⚡️ According to the World Travel & Tourism Council 2018, the market size of the world tourism industry in 2018 reached 8300 billion USD, accounting for about 10% of global GDP.
The market scale is continually expanding and global economic experts predict the growth of tourism will increase by about 4% per year.
⚡️ Meanwhile, travel service providers’ expenses will be $2,894 billion in 2017. Estimated expenses in 2018 will be $3,010 billion and about 35% of marketing costs (equivalent to $875 billion per year). This is the market share of tourism marketing.
📈 UNWTO forecasts that by 2030, the number of international tourists will reach 1.8 billion USD https://www2.unwto.org/content/why-tourism
❓Why do you need travel review platforms?
🔸 Over the past few years, this industry has grown along with the general trend of moving online. Global research shows that 71% of participants regularly update their journeys on the internet: Social networks, personal blogs …
🔷The World Tourism industry is witnessing the development of many other travel trends such as self-designed tours, high-end tours, adventure tours, experiential tours, leisure tourism with various modern equipment … The tendency for tourists interested in the quality of experience at the destination instead of merely an image so that tourists will stay longer if the destination has many interesting experiences and vice versa.
📝 A statistic shows that up to 79% of travelers choose to consult information from online sources, especially those of the previous reviews on service providers and official travel websites. Along with that, more than 77% of tourists choose to book travel based on those reviews and up to 66% continue to look for review information during the trip.
Thereby it can be seen that society is looking forward to a specialized online marketing platform for the tourism industry. Through this platform, tourists and service providers are easily connected. This is an opportunity for #AstraNetwork to build and develop.
In the following article, we will share about the challenges and potential development opportunities of Astra Network.

 On September 21, 2019, the “Launching Ceremony of Astra” combined with the Investment Signing Ceremony was successfully held in Hanoi. Attending the event were Astra people, major investors and partners, press agencies as well as the public interested in the brand. At the event, CEO Nguyen Tiep gave an enthusiastic speech introducing Astra’s goals, missions as well as the future development roadmap. This is an opportunity for the Astra Network to spread its values to the community, bringing a Vietnamese brand closer to Vietnamese users and international friends. Together with the participation of many famous names such as Shark Pham Thanh Hung, Shark Dzung Nguyen, Shark Tran Anh Vuong, CEO Vinalink Tuan Ha … the event marked an important milestone on the development path of Astra, the world’s first social networking platform based blockchain for tourism.
Astra has become an “unprecedented” start-up in the capital raising history of “Shark Tank Vietnam” by holding a successful brand launching ceremony only a few days after appearing on television with an excellent performance, ending up getting 1.000.000 USD from Shark Pham Thanh Hung. Combined with the fame of the television program, Astra has received a lot of attention from the media as well as social networks users. Astra is a pioneering Vietnamese social network that attacks niche markets — tourism — which is a hidden market with countless potential to help promote nation branding and develop the country’s economy. Speaking at the opening of the event, CEO Nguyen Tiep expressed his strategic vision and belief in the potential of the brand in his home market: “Astra is creating what the society needs. While other social networking platforms are gradually being diluted, Astra focuses on the niche market of tourism, so the content will be simpler and more user-friendly. In particular, Astra was born to change the passive travel habits of Vietnamese people. In 2018, tourism contributed $ 26 billion to the total value of the economy. This confirms that Vietnam is a country that sees tourism as its strength. At the same time, the best way to promote Vietnam to the world is through tourism.”

Shark Vuong reaffirmed that our domestic market needs pioneering factors such as Astra, while Shark Hung believes in a Vietnamese brand, “made by Vietnamese” that can cover its influence globally. For Astra, this is the first time a social networking platform is operated in harmony with the blockchain system, which helps create values back to users by rewarding users who contribute content. With a team of nearly 70 technical engineers working hard to build a sustainable ecosystem that provides excellent user experience, Astra is expected to be a potential name that will prove itself in the domestic and international travel market.
